Coatings, Paints & Ink Formulation Chemicals and Additives
Discover Surfa Solutions’ surfactants for coatings and inks. Enhance dispersion,
leveling, and emulsification in paints, varnishes, and printing systems.
High-Performance Surfactants for Coating & Ink Formulations
Surfa Solutions supports coatings and ink manufacturers with surfactants that improve pigment dispersion, surface wetting, and formulation stability across waterborne, solvent-based, and UV systems.
Industry Trends & Challenges
Modern coating and ink formulations must balance:
High performance and surface aesthetics
Regulatory compliance (e.g., VOC, REACH)
Compatibility with pigments and resins
Storage stability and production efficiency
Our Surfactant Solutions
Nonionic surfactants
→ For pigment wetting, leveling, and defoaming
Amphoteric surfactants
→ Improve compatibility across broad pH ranges
Alkoxylated amines
→ Aid in dispersion and reduce pigment flooding
Cationic surfactants
→ Improve adhesion and antimicrobial properties
Custom blends
→ Tailored for gloss, flow, and drying profiles
